In the Demon Nation, the nameless mountain range was silent.
Li Mu held the Sun Shooting Bow in one hand and the Sky Splitting Spear in the other. He slowly descended from the void and frantically absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy to recover his spiritual power.
The Sun Shooting Bow had once killed the seventh realm Hehuan Sect Grand Elder with a single arrow, causing his body and soul to be unable to escape. However, it was still unable to kill the evil youth with a single arrow. Of course, the price of receiving the arrow was the destruction of his physical body. His Primordial Spirit was severely injured and on the verge of dissipating. It was directly destroyed by Li Mu's next spear.
In the void, countless light spots were slowly dissipating. Those were the Primordial Spirit and memory fragments of this person.
Li Mu's palm released a suction force that sucked in the light spots. Eventually, they formed a light ball the size of a thumb. He scanned it with his spiritual consciousness and then fell into a long period of contemplation.
"Four Ancestors of Diabolism, Blood River …"
His guess was not wrong. The youth was indeed a ten thousand year old monster. What was different from Emperor Bai was that he had passed down his memories over and over again. He had already passed down his memories dozens of times.
Not only him, but there were also a few Ancestors of Diabolism who were using the same method to pass down their memories.
Ten thousand years ago, their cultivation had reached the ninth realm. When they started cultivating again, everything was familiar. As long as they had enough resources, they could cultivate to the upper three realms in a short period of time, or even return to the peak.
Although Li Mu had always felt that such a "reincarnation" was actually not the original life, and that Ancestor Blood River had already died ten thousand years ago, to the youth who only had Blood River's memories, he was Blood River.
This philosophical question could not be answered in a short period of time.
Of course, such a "legacy" was not without its risks.
If one of the inheritors of their memories died unexpectedly and their memories dissipated, they would no longer have the chance to pass down their memories. Just like Blood River today, he died under the Sun Shooting Bow and the Sky Splitting Spear. In the future, Diabolism would no longer have Ancestor Blood River.
From Blood River's remnant memories, Li Mu learned that ten thousand years ago, there were dozens of Diabolism people who used this method to pass down their memories. But now, there were less than ten people left.
Most of the others had fallen at the hands of experts of a certain era.
Among them, the owner of the Sky Piercing Spear, Ao Qing, and the owner of the Sun Shooting Bow, Ao Xuan, had both killed such demonic inheritors before. That was why they were so terrified and shocked when they saw these two weapons at the Blood River.
Li Mu was slightly moved. In fact, it wasn't just the demonic path. Righteous path cultivators could also use this method to continue their lineage.
But on the other hand, in order to find the owner of the memories, one would have to erase their original memories. This was not something that the righteous path would do.
On the other hand, memories could be passed on, but cultivation could not. Even if the previous owner was a cultivator at the ninth realm and placed his memories on an infant, he would still have to start cultivating as a mortal. The process of cultivation was extremely dry and tedious. No matter how strong a person's mind was, it would still be very difficult for them to endure the torment over and over again.
In Blood River's memories, there were several Demonic Path powerhouses who were unable to endure this endless torment and committed suicide in the process of passing down their legacies.
Thus, the powerhouses of the Demonic Path that were a step ahead of the others would look for some special physiques suitable for cultivation. They would spend a massive amount of resources to raise them to a certain level of cultivation and then erase their memories. At this time, they were the best memory hosts.
Blood River's body was a genius with a special physique. It was very suitable for him to cultivate an ancient demonic art.
Compared to the Demonic Path, the seniors of the righteous path would also choose to leave behind their memories before they died. But this was not for the sake of seizing the bodies of their juniors, but for them to comprehend and cultivate.
Li Mu let out a light breath. Before Blood River died, his memories were already fragmented and fragmented. What he could gather wasn't much.
Besides this, he only knew that the Demonic Path had been willing to endure the loneliness of ten thousand years ago. Generation after generation of great perseverance powerhouses had reincarnated. The reason they did this was because they were looking for a door.
A door …
Li Mu recalled the illusory door that appeared after he overlapped the Heavenly Books. For the past ten thousand years, the Demonic Path had never stopped searching for the Heavenly Books. Could it be for this door?
They had dominated the Ten Continents for ten thousand years. The number of Heavenly Books in their hands was probably no less than Li Mu's. At this time, Li Mu was also certain that the Demonic Path did indeed have an Eighth Realm powerhouse. The Demonic Path Holy Sect's headquarters was in the depths of the South Sea.
Although he wanted to attack the Demonic Path's headquarters and snatch back the Heavenly Books to see what was behind the door, he obviously didn't have the strength to do so.
In this world, the only two known Eighth Realm powerhouses were his enemies. Li Mu sighed inwardly. He collected his thoughts and flew in the direction of the Thousand Fox Nation.
At this time, above the South Sea.
Two old figures stood in the air.
The flames in the skeletal old man's eyes flickered violently. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Divine Predictor, I won't set foot on the Zu Continent this time, but you still want to stop me!"
Divine Predictor looked at him and calmly said, "If this old man doesn't die, don't even think about leaving the South Sea to harm the world."
Not long after, huge waves rolled up above the South Sea. The fishermen on the coast all climbed up the mountains to hide. The aquatic creatures in the sea also swam deeper with all their might …
Li Mu was completely unaware of all this. He descended from the sky and landed on the square in front of the Thousand Fox Nation's imperial palace.
Then, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He sensed several extremely powerful demonic auras in the imperial palace. One of them was the Myriad Illusion Lord, another was the Blue Wolf King, and the other two were also Seventh Realm powerhouses. Moreover, the auras of these four demons were somewhat unstable. They were obviously injured.
Li Mu didn't have time to pay attention to them. He looked ahead and saw a familiar aura quickly approaching him.
In the imperial palace's main hall, the Blue Wolf King's face was still a little frightened. He said in a trembling voice, "What the hell is he?!"
Ever since the four great factions formed an alliance, the four Seventh Realm demons worked together to patrol the Yao Nation. They wanted to find the culprit behind the annihilation of countless demon tribes.
However, they didn't expect that person to be able to play the four Seventh Realm demons like a fool with his Sixth Realm cultivation. Once the four of them separated, he would definitely find them and defeat them one by one. Once the four of them gathered together, that person would avoid battle and turn to slaughter the small and medium-sized demon tribes.
During this period, he was getting stronger almost every day. It wouldn't be long before he could completely threaten the four of them.
The Nine Heaven Snake King thought for a moment and said in a low voice, "If it really doesn't work, we can only gather the four of us and guard the mountain gate."
The White Bear King asked, "What about the small and medium-sized demon tribes other than the four clans?"
The Nine Heaven Snake King shook his head and said, "We can't care about that now."
The Myriad Illusion Lord, who hadn't spoken for a long time, said, "It's useless. You all can see that the demonic art he cultivates absorbs the essence and blood of others to become stronger. If we let him wreak havoc in the Yao Nation, it won't be long before we're no match for him even if we join forces …"
The current situation in the Yao Nation was still within their range of control.
If they waited until The Heretical Cultivation grew to a certain level, it would be out of their control. The Green Wolf King hesitated for a long time and murmured, "Why don't we ask that lord for help …"
Footsteps came from outside the hall. Illusion Princess walked in with Li Mu intimately.
Li Mu looked at everyone and asked, "What are you all talking about?"
The Myriad Illusion Lord coughed lightly and said, "My dear son-in-law, you may not know this, but recently, a vicious Heretical Cultivation appeared in the Yao Nation. The four of us joined forces but couldn't capture him …"
Li Mu was caught off guard when the Myriad Illusion Lord called him "my dear son-in-law". He had only been with Illusion Princess since he came to the Yao Nation. He didn't speak much with the Myriad Illusion Lord and wasn't so familiar with him.
However, in front of so many people, even if Li Mu didn't consider him, he had to consider Illusion Princess. Moreover, the Myriad Illusion Lord called him "my dear son-in-law" was based on the truth, so he tacitly agreed to it. He reached out his hand and gently touched the void. A shadow appeared in front of the Myriad Illusion Lord and the others.
Li Mu asked, "Is it this person?"
The Myriad Illusion Lord said in shock, "My dear son-in-law, you've seen him?"
Li Mu nodded slightly and said casually, "On the way to the Yao Nation, I happened to see this Heretical Cultivation slaughtering innocent demons. I killed him in passing to prevent him from harming the Thousand Fox Nation in the future."
"Killed?"
"In passing?"
The four demons in the hall, including the Myriad Illusion Lord, were all stunned.
Although The Heretical Cultivation was only at the sixth realm, even they, who were at the seventh realm, had almost died in his hands. How could he be killed so easily? If Li Mu could kill that evil youth, wouldn't he have the ability to kill them as well?
Li Mu continued, "This person's cultivation wasn't high, but he was very strong. His mystique was strange and his battle experience was also very rich. I was almost injured by him and spent a lot of effort to kill him. He had a high status in the Demon Sect. If he died in the Yao Nation, he might attract the revenge of the Demon Sect. You have to be careful in the Yao Nation …"
Illusion Princess had already hinted to him countless times. After reminding them, Li Mu and Illusion Princess walked out of the hall and went straight to the harem.
Inside the hall, the Green Wolf King's mouth was wide open and didn't close for a long time.
"That person is really dead?"
"That's impossible …"
"He's only at the sixth realm. That person is invincible at the sixth realm …"
…
The Myriad Illusion Lord was the first to come back to his senses. He smiled and said to the others, "Since my son-in-law said he's dead, then he's dead. Compared to how he killed that person, what's more important is whether we can withstand the revenge of the Demon Sect …"
The original temporary alliance of the four races was to deal with that Heretical Cultivation.
Now that he was dead, the alliance of the four races should be dissolved. However, the Myriad Illusion Lord's worries weren't unfounded. The Green Wolf King's life was still in the hands of others, so of course, he didn't have any objections. The Nine Heaven Snake King and the White Bear King fell into a long silence.
The Myriad Illusion Lord looked at them and continued, "Many things have happened in the Yao Nation in the past two years. I believe that you can see that only a unified Yao Nation can gather all forces and resist the calamity together …"
The Nine Heaven Snake King frowned and said, "You want us to bow down to your Thousand Fox Nation?"
The Myriad Illusion Lord shook his head and said, "We're not bowing down to you. The four races will unite, and our territories will remain unchanged. We'll use the power of the four races to unify the power of the entire Yao Nation. In the future, we'll discuss the matters of the Yao Nation together …"
Only the Black Snake Tribe and the Flying Bear Tribe couldn't fight against the Demon Sect. A complete unification of the Yao Nation's races was a good thing for everyone, especially with the Thousand Fox Nation behind them. Relying on that man was equivalent to relying on the Great Zhou court. The various Dao sects would instantly gain countless powerful allies. The Nine Heaven Snake King and the White Bear King looked at each other and quickly came to a decision.
The Nine Heaven Snake King nodded and said, "The Myriad Illusion Lord's words make sense. With the enemy before us, it's time for the Yao Nation to be unified."
The White Bear King also said, "I also agree with the unification."
The Myriad Illusion Lord said meaningfully, "Since the Yao Nation is to be unified, we must choose a ruler. Who do you think is the most suitable person to take this position?"
Although the Myriad Illusion Lord asked in a questioning tone, there was no choice in this matter.
The Thousand Fox Nation was currently the dominant power in the Yao Nation. Even if the Black Snake Tribe and the Flying Bear Tribe controlled the Yao Nation, they didn't have the strength to protect the Yao Nation. The entire Yao Nation was now tied to the Thousand Fox Nation.
To be more precise, it was tied to the man behind the Queen of the Thousand Fox Nation, Phantom Princess.
The Nine Heaven Snake King took a deep breath and said helplessly, "I think that Niece Phantom Princess can take on this heavy responsibility."
The Myriad Illusion Lord shook his head and said, "Her cultivation is too low. I'm afraid she can't take on this responsibility."
The Nine Heaven Snake King cursed in his heart. The Myriad Illusion Lord had clearly dug a hole and was waiting for them to jump into it. However, they had no choice but to jump into it. He could only harden his heart and grit his teeth and said, "With the accumulation of our four tribes over the years, it shouldn't be difficult to push her to the Seventh Realm …"
The Myriad Illusion Lord looked troubled and said, "I'm sorry …"
The White Bear King also understood the meaning behind their words and said with a pained heart, "It should be so. The Queen of the Yao Nation can't lose to the Queen of the Great Zhou. I suggest that we merge the Psychic Spirits of the four tribes to help the Queen break through …"
